Joel 2

1BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, and soundH7321 an alarmH7321 in my holyH6944 mountainH2022; let allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 trembleH7264: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 cometh, for it is nigh at handH7138; 2a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloominess, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thickH6205 darknessH2822, as the dawnH7837 spreadH6566 uponH5921 the mountainsH2022; a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strongH6099, there hath notH3808 been everH5769 the like, neitherH3808 shall be anyH4480 moreH4480 afterH310 them, evenH5704 to the yearsH8141 of manyH7227 generationsH1755. 3A fireH784 devoureth beforeH6440 them; and behindH310 them a flameH3852 burneth: the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them, and behindH310 them a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057; yea, and noneH3808 hath escapedH6413 them. 4The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, soH3651 do they runH7323. 5Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 do they leapH7540, like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devoureth the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH4421. 6At their presenceH6440 the peoplesH5971 are in anguishH2342: allH3605 facesH6440 are waxed paleH6289. 7They runH7323 like mightyH1368 menH376; they climbH5927 the wallH2346 like menH376 of warH4421; and they march everyH376 one on his waysH1870, and they break notH3808 their ranks. 8NeitherH3808 doth one thrust anotherH251; they march everyH376 one in his pathH4546: and they burstH5307 throughH1157 the weaponsH7973, and breakH1214 notH3808 offH1214 their course. 9They leap uponH935 the cityH5892; they runH7323 uponH935 the wallH2346; they climbH5927 upH5927 intoH935 the housesH1004; they enterH935 in at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590. 10The earthH776 quaketh beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 trembleH7264: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 are darkened, and the starsH3556 withdrawH622 their shining: 11And the LORDH3068 uttereth his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his armyH4264; for his campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH1419; for he is strongH6099 that executeth his wordH1697: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3966 terrible; and who canH4310 abide it? 12Yet evenH1571 nowH6258, saith the LORDH3068, turnH7725 ye unto meH7725 with allH3605 your heartH3824, and with fastingH6685, and with weepingH1065, and with mourningH4553: 13and rendH7167 your heartH3824, and notH408 your garmentsH899, and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, for he is graciousH2587 and fullH7725 of compassionH5162, slowH750 to angerH639, and plenteous in mercyH3068, and repenteth him of the evilH7451. 14Who knoweth whether he will notH3045 turnH7725 and repentH7725, and leaveH7604 a blessingH1293 behindH310 him, even a mealH4503 offering and a drink offering unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430? 15BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, sanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116: 16gatherH6908 the peopleH5971, sanctifyH6942 the congregationH6951, assembleH622 the oldH2205 menH5971, gatherH6908 the childrenH5768, and those that suckH3243 the breastsH7699: let the bridegroom goH3318 forthH3318 of his chamberH2315, and the brideH3618 outH3318 of herH3243 closet. 17LetH5414 the priestsH3548, the ministersH8334 of the LORDH3068, weepH1058 betweenH996 the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and letH5414 them sayH559, SpareH2347 thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and giveH5414 notH408 thine heritageH5159 to reproachH2781, that the nationsH1471 should ruleH4910 over them: wherefore should they sayH559 among the peoplesH5971, WhereH346 is their GodH430? 18Then was the LORDH3068 jealousH7065 for his landH776, and had pityH2550 on his peopleH5971. 19And the LORDH3068 answeredH559 and saidH559 unto his peopleH5971, BeholdH2005, I will sendH7971 youH5414 corn, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and ye shall be satisfiedH7646 therewith: and I will noH3808 moreH5750 makeH5414 youH5414 a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471: 20but I will removeH7368 farH7368 offH5921 from youH3588 the northernH6830 armyH5927, and will driveH5080 him intoH413 a landH776 barren and desolateH8077, his forepart intoH413 the easternH6931 seaH3220, and his hinder partH5921 intoH413 the westernH314 seaH3220; and his stink shall comeH5927 upH5927, and his ill savour shall comeH5927 upH5927, becauseH3588 he hath doneH6213 greatH1431 things. 21FearH3372 notH408, O landH127, be gladH8055 and rejoiceH8055; for the LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 greatH1431 things. 22Be notH408 afraidH3372, ye beastsH929 of the fieldH7704; for the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 doH408 spring, for the treeH6086 beareth herH5414 fruitH6529, the figH8384 treeH6086 and the vineH1612 doH408 yieldH5414 their strengthH2428. 23Be gladH8055 then, ye childrenH1121 of ZionH6726, and rejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he giveth youH3588 the formerH7223 rainH1653 in justH6666 measure, and he causeth to comeH3381 downH3381 for youH3588 the rainH1653, the formerH7223 rainH1653 and the latterH4456 rainH1653, in the firstH7223 month. 24And the floorsH1637 shall be fullH4390 of wheatH1250, and the vatsH3342 shall overflowH7783 with wineH8492 and oilH3323. 25And I will restore to youH834 the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 hath eatenH398, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my greatH1419 armyH2428 whichH834 I sentH7971 among youH834. 26And ye shall eatH398 in plentyH7646 and be satisfiedH7646, and shall praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that hath dealt wondrouslyH6381 with youH834: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH3808 be ashamedH954. 27And ye shall knowH3045 that I am in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478, and that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and there is noneH369 elseH5750: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH3808 be ashamedH954. 28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. 32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as the LORD hath said, and among the remnant those whom the LORD doth call.
